My Fringe!

Hi Girls and Style Conscience Guys,

I have recently got my hair cut and it looks (correction Looked) great. After walking out of the salon I felt Fab.
Now 1 week on I can seem to do anything with it. My fringe looks flat and oily and by the end of a long day at work it is in pieces stuck to my forehead….. not a good look for an hour train ride home.

I have tried blowdrying and straightening and it just doesnt seemto work.

If any one has any suggestions…. I would be forever grateful. I am wiling to try almost anything.

I dont want to do the Britt and Shave it…. but it is starting to look like a better option that what I’ve got….. HELP!

    Hi Amy,

    I feel your pain I had the same problem but a bit less than you if that makes sense. I just let mine grow, fringes are so high maintenance and because I have a busy life I can`t maintain it and according to my mom and my husband it made me look older so nope, hahaha. Good luck and don`t give up!

    How about you bring a dry shampoo with you? Have 1 in your office and whenever you feel oily just spray it.

    I was always told by my hairdresser to achieve volume or to work my fringe to spray hair spray at top tease it a bit then either straighten or style it how I want it

    I like my bangs to be off my face, but when I keep pushing them off my face that adds to the oiliness. One thing I like to do is use a bit of gel, comb it back and then dry without touching. It can be brushed out when dry. That seems to give it a bit more texture.

    yeah its such a problem when your fringe is oily lol. i find washing my hair every second day helps reduce oil.

    Lip gloss addict is right, you can wash just your fringe everyday, just lean over in the sink and do it then set it with a blowdryer. because there is already so much oil in your fringe everyday, shampooing it everyday will not dry your hair out because it already is so oily.

    What a great post, wish I`d read it months ago after i just got mine cut.
    I used a round brush and hair dryer on high setting then brush it down. I only take my foundation up to just past my brows to stop excess oil/shine in hair and I used Klorane hair shampoo spray which stops the shine each morning before I face the world.
    Hope this provides `fringe benefits` to other girls out there xx

    i have a full straight fringe too and i hate it when it starts to grow out or go funny! i have to straighten it everyday because otherwise it goes curly. i know your pain amurr!

    When I have had a fringe in the past I washed and blow-dried it everyday (my fringe only, not the rest of my hair) using a round brush and then let it set in a large velcro roller for a few minutes. I liked the idea of having a fringe, and it looked good in the mornings when I did it but my hair is too fine for a fringe and it just never sat right. Sad though cause its a cool look!
